Laser Treatments

Laser Dentistry

Over recent years, there have been many developments in both the medical and dental industries. One type of treatment that has really evolved is laser-based treatment, which is something that is used to treat both medical and dental conditions. Laser treatment provides many excellent benefits, as it is non-invasive, generally fast and convenient, and can produce excellent results when used in cosmetic treatments, medical procedures, and in dentistry. At Carnegie Dental in Victoria, BC, we can treat a variety of dental issues through the use of this type of treatment – contact us today to find out more!

Treating Periodontal Disease

One of the dental conditions that laser treatment can be used for is periodontal disease. This can become a very serious problem for those that suffer from it.

It relates to the inflammation of gums, but this can get worse, as it can then move onto the bone that supports the teeth. This can put you at risk of premature tooth loss and teeth that become mobile. When used to treat this problem, the laser is able to eliminate the bacteria and create an environment for healing to reduce the inflammation around the teeth.

Treating Canker and Cold Sores

Canker sores and cold sores are extremely common, but, as most people know, can also cause discomfort and even embarrassment. In the case of cold sores, there is also the risk of spreading the problem because they are contagious.

Both canker and cold sores can be very difficult to get rid of, and some people get them over and over again. Using laser treatment for these sores means that you can benefit in various ways, including:

Destruction of the virus

Faster healing

Pain relief

A laser treatment can even prevent the onset of the lesions if you get it treated at the very early stages.

Treating Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Many people have trouble with snoring during the night. This can cause disturbances for their loved ones as well. Snoring can be caused by a number of things, one of which is known as obstructive sleep apnea. This condition is caused by the throat muscles becoming too relaxed while you are sleeping, leading to blockages in the air passage.

With laser treatment, you can effectively address this problem and enjoy more peaceful, higher-quality sleep without disturbances. The laser treatment is able to tighten the muscles of the throat for unobstructed breathing at night.
